Objective To investigate the characteristics and the operative treatment effect of pelvic fractures complicated with lumbosacral plexus compression injury. Methods From January 2000 to January 2009, 19 patients (13 males, 6 females; mean age 34.7 years) of pelvic fractures complicated with lum-bosaeral plexus compression injury were treated by surgical fixation and neural decompression. The diagnosis of nerve compression were determined by analyzing the clinical manifestation and X-ray and CT imaging findings. The injured nerve were decompressed directly by remove the fracture fragments or callus which compressed the lumbersacralis plexus nerve. Eight cases of nerve decompression were through posterior ap-proach, six through anterior approach, and five through combined approach. Sixteen cases of unstable pelvis fractures were treated by open reducton and internal fixation. Results Seventeen patients were followed up. The mean follow-up time was 27 months (12-72 months). The fractures were clinically healed at 10.6 (8-14) weeks. Regarding the Neural Function of the lower extremity, 12 cases had achieved full recovery, 4 cases had recovered partly, 1 case had no change. Four of the six patients who have bladder and bowel dysfunc-tion had fully recovered while the other two patients still have urinary dysfunction. Conclusion Early and accurate diagnosis of the lumbosacral plexus compression injury accompanied with pelvic fractures were very important. It was key to better outcomes that early decompression the lumbosacral plexus and surgical fixa-tion the pelvis fractures are carried out after injury.

Objective To compare the effect of sacroiliac anterior papilionaceous plate (SAPP) and the traditional reconstruction plate for the treatment of sacroiliac joint disruption.Methods 11 consecutive patients with sacroiliac joint disruption associated with pelvic fracture enrolled in our hospital.Detailed physical examination,X-rays,CT and FAST were performed before surgery.11 patients underwent SAPP fixation.Of the 11 patients,there were 5 males and 6 females.Their average age was 39.6 years.12 patients enrolled in last year as control group underwent reconstruction plate.There were 7 males and 5 females in this group.Their average age was 39.1 years.Operation time,blood loss,placing time of SAPP were recorded.X-ray films were performed after surgery to evaluate reduction condition by Matta criteria.X-ray films and Majeed outcome were performed in follow up.Results According to Tile classification,there were 13 Type B and 10 Type C.For SAPP group,operation time was (100.9±32.1) min,blood loss (998.8±365.7)ml,Placing time of SAPP was (6.6±3.2) min.For control group,operation time was (110.8±29.6) min,blood loss was (136.0±279.3) ml,placing time of reconstruction plate was (15.4±1.1) min.According to Matta criteria,8 cases were rated as excellent,11 as good,3 as fair,and 1 as poor.Lumbosacral nerve injury occurred in 1 case,lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury in 7,and massive blood loss in 2 cases.No posterior infection occurred.Compared with control group,SAPP group experienced shorter placing time,and less blood loss in type B pelvic fracture.Conclusion As a new instrument,SAPP could be well applied in the treatment of sacroiliac disruption.Compared with reconstructed plate,SAPP obviously shortens placing time and facilitated placing procedure,and does not increase blood loss,neurological risk and infection rate and does not need different incision and reduction method.

BACKGROUND:There are two types of epithelial stem cells in the ocular surface tissue:corneal epithelial stem cells and conjunctival epithelial stem cells. The corneal epithelial stem cells play an important role in renewal of corneal epithelial cells and maintenance of corneal transparency.
OBJECTIVE:To study the location of corneal epithelial stem cells using laser in vivo confocal microscopy and immunofluorescent staining.
METHODS:Patients with unilateral limbal stem celldeficiency who went to Henan Eye Institute from September 2009 to September 2012 were enrol ed in this study. Bilateral eyes were scanned by laser in vivo confocal microscopy, and the healthy eye was imaged as a control. The central cornea and limbus were scanned and images were recorded for statistical analysis. The eye bal s were obtained from Henan Eye Bank, China. Central cornea and limbus were dissected and embedded in the OCT compound for frozen section and the proper thickness of the section was 5-7μm. Immunofluorescent staining was used to detect the expression of p63, ABCG2, K3 and Connexin 43 in the epithelial layers of central cornea and limbus.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Twenty-four patients diagnosed with unilateral limbal stem celldeficiency were recruited. Under confocal microscopy, in the affected eyes, the typical morphology of conjunctival epithelial cells and goblet cells was detected instead of corneal epithelial cells;in the limbus, a great amount of fiber scarring tissue was detected instead of Vogt palisade, rete pegs and pigment cells. Immunofluorescent staining showed the expression of p63, ABCG2 was mainly in the basal layer of limbal epithelium, especial y in the outer and middle parts, but the expression of p63 and ABCG2 was not detected in the epithelial celllayers of central cornea. K3 and Connexin43 were not expressed in suprabasal layers of limbal epithelium, but in central cornea, they were expressed highly in the whole epithelial celllayers. Laser in vivo confocal microscopy and immunofluorescent staining showed the corneal epithelial stem cells were located in the basal layer of outer and middle limbal epithelium, mainly in Vogt palisade and rete pegs.

Objective To estimate the effects of the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet on blood pressure (BP) of children and adolescents by using meta-analysis. Methods The articles of the randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) on the DASH diet were collected and selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed to calculate the weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) to assess the blood pressure change associated with DASH diet in children and adolescents. Results Eight RCT papers involving experimental group for 838 and the control group for 1 222 were included. All the papers had high methodological quality. According to comparative analysis between the lowest tertiles of DASH Score and highest tertiles of DASH Score, the DASH-style pattern led to lower systolic BP(SBP) (WMD=-2.29 mmHg, 95%CI:-3.20--1.38) (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)and diastolic BP(DBP) (WMD=-2.18 mmHg, 95%CI:-3.00--1.35) levels. Comparing with pre-DASH diet, the DASH diet was more effective in lowing SBP (WMD=-5.83 mmHg, 95%CI:-9.55--2.11)and DBP(WMD=-2.78 mmHg, 95%CI:-4.74--0.83). Comparing with the routine care (RC), the DASH diet was proved more effective than RC in lowing SBP(WMD=-4.98 mmHg, 95%CI:-7.37--2.59) and DBP(WMD=-1.47 mmHg, 95%CI:-2.53--0.41) in children and adolescents. The DASH diet was more effective in lowing SBP(WMD=-3.25 mmHg, 95%CI:-5.46--1.05)than DBP in children and adolescents. Conclusion This research suggested that DASH diet had a positive clinical efficacy on blood pressure in children and adolescents, and caused a greater decrease in SBP than in DBP.

Objective To investigate the clinical and radiographic outcome of traumatic pubic symphyseal diastases fixed with the locked plate. Methods From December 2007 to December 2009,17 patients(11 males,6 females,at mean age of 45.3 years)with pubic symphysis diastasis of unstable pelvic ring injuries were treated with open reduction and fixation with the locked plate.According to Tile classification system,five patients were with type B1 fractures,one with type B2,one with type B3,six with type C1,three with type C2 and one with type C3.All operations were performed under general anesthesia.Pubic symphyseal diastasis was treated by open reduction and fixation with the locked plate.There were 13 patients with associated posterior pelvic disruption,of which seven patients were treated by open reduction via anterior approach and fixed wich the reconstruction plates,three by close reduction and fixed with percutaneoua sacroiliac cannulated screws and three by posterior approach and fixed with M type plates. Results Of all the patients,16 patients were followed up for a mean time of 16 months(6-30months),which showed mean blood loss of 200 ml(50-600 ml)and mean hospital stay of 21 days (14-62 days).The clinical outcome was measured according to Majeed scores system,which showed excellent results in seven patients,good in seven and fair in two. Conclusions The locked plate fixation takes advantages of sailsfactory clinical outcomes with less operative trauma and a lower implant failure and wound infection rate in treatment of traumatic pubis symphysis diastasis.Locked plate fixation of symphysis call be performed alone when the posterior pelvic ring is only partially disrupted (Tile B).Posterior fixation construction should be used if the pelvic ring is under complete instability(Tile C).

Objective To investigate the early diagnosis and treatment of pelvic fracture with vaginal injury.Methods From January 2000 to July 2010,13 patients suffered from pelvic fracture with vaginal injury were treated in our hospital,whose average age was 31.7 years.According to the Tile classification,there were 4 cases of type B1,1 case of type B2,4 cases of type B3,3 cases of type C1,and 1 case of type C2.Emergency repair of vagina together with open reduction and internal fixation of pelvic fracture was performed in 3 patients.After the patients' condition became stable,5 patients with shock were treated with emergency repair of vagina together with primary external fixation of pelvic fracture.Prompt repair of vagina together with open reduction and internal fixation or primary external fixation of pelvic fracture was performed in 2 patients who underwent delayed diagnosis.Two cases of extensive pelvic abscess due to missed diagnosis of vaginal laceration were treated with debridement and external fixation of pelvic fracture,and reconstructions of vagina were performed after infection control.Results Twelve patients survived,and 1 patient died 6 h after admission.Eleven patients were followed up for 8 to 36 months (average,17 months).Among 9 patients who underwent one-stage repair of vagina,5 married patients had normal sexual life,1 suffered from pain during sexual intercourse,and 3 unmarried patients had normal menses.Two patients who underwent second-stage reconstruction of vagina suffered from pain during sexual intercourse.At final follow-up,the mean Majeed score was 82.2 (range,56 to 96),and the results were excellent in 6 cases,good in 3 cases,fair in 2 cases.Conclusion Vaginal injury should be highly suspected in females with anterior pelvic ring fracture.Early diagnosis and repair of vaginal injury is crucial to good clinical outcomes.Delayed diagnosis and treatment may lead to severe complications.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of internal fixation for fractures of the acetabular anterior column or pubic rami through minimally invasive ilioinguinal approach.MethodsFrom June 2008 to June 2011,26 patients were surgically fixed with reconstructive plates through minimally invasive ilioinguinal approach.Sixteen cases were diagnosed as fractures of the acetabular anterior column,and ten as fractures of the pubic rami.The patient was positioned supine or lateral floating.The incision included two parts.The lateral part along the anterior one-third of the iliac crest about 3-5 cm.The insertion of the abdominal muscles and the origin of the iliacus were sharply incised from the crest.By subperiosteal dissection,the iliacus was elevated from the internal iliac fossa as far medially as to expose the anterior inferior iliac spine,iliopubic eminence and acetabular anterior column.The medial part of the incision was from the pubic tubercle transverse lateral extend 2-3 cm.Subperiosteal dissection to expose the superior pubic ramus.Two windows were dissected subperiosteal to connect through a tunnel along the anterior column of the acetabulum and pubic ramus.Fractures were reduced,and reconstruction plates were contoured and placed through the tunnel.Two or three screws were used at each window to fix the fractures.ResultsAccording to Matta evaluation system,anatomic reductions of the hip were in 13 cases,good in 11 and fair in 2 cases.Twenty-three patients were followed up from 6 to 30 months(mean,15.6 months).Hip functions were excellent in 13 patients,good in 6,and fair in 4 patients according to the D'Aubigne scores system.Pelvic functional results showed 12 were excellent,9 were good and 2 were fair according to Majeed scores system.No complications such as infection or deep venous thrombosis occurred.ConclusionThis modified ilioinguinal approach,with less operation time and low rate of complications,is simple and minimally invasive.It is easy for surgeons to perform plate moulding and could provide firm fixation.
